I like the bottom pic, looks 'cleaner'.

[siddr20]

^ I like the first one for some reason. Eitherway nicely done.

Just practicing cleaning skin and trying not to make it look fake or using any filters etc.

Basically healing tool, little bit of dodge and burn. Haven't gone overboard with it. Kept it as natural as possible.

I don't do this often so im no pro.. but just practicing here.

Before:

After: hmmm now that im looking at it again found a few noticeable mistakes

[MaikuL]

Damn those intense green's and blue's are awesome haha.

[MaTBoY]

I was trying to add a couple splashes to get your attention.

here's the last in the set.

Matt - I don't normally like the photos where you can see the bonnet. It feels so over used and tasteless. That said, I really like your first photo showing the engine

Sidd - I think those stretch marks on her shoulder blade could of been removed and the ear-ring piercing otherwise awesome job. I use photoshop around 5 hours a day for the past 8ish years so if you need some help with anything, give me a buzz man!

Did you up her eye colour intensity very minutely?

I've just gone and added a few extra things to your photo sidd - hope thats ok!

[siddr20]

That looks so much better. How did you remove the stretch marks?

I want to learn without using any filters/actions etc that you can purchase.

Did you just use slight blur on the shoulder blades? To be honest I havnt touched the shoulders at all. I just did the face. But I will attempt it again tonight.

Thanks for offering your help man

[wilorichie]

There are 101 ways to do things in Photoshop. To do the shoulders, use a clone tool (pasting on another layer) then you can use lighting effects to blend it into the stretch marks.

I always need to try a few different methods before I find something that works well and I am happy with the outcome. It's rare to just know how to fix something straight away...

I made her eyes and lips stand out a bit more as they are key features of hers.

Fixing the piercing really makes her look more natural - It's a big blemish (Obviously if a piece of jewellery was there, it wouldn't be the same case)

[MaTBoY]

either way... she's hot. hook a brother up.

I agree with Sidd - that is an AWESOME pano, mate. Seriously, it makes me even more distressed that you smashed up your G11 so you couldn't take more shots. You've got the talent, USE IT, even if it's just for fun!

Oh, any news on the job front? Fingers are crossed for you.

[GoldZilla]

I can has, please Sidd? Great shot, gorgeous girl!

[Jay019]
